Hello,
I'm using the document class book. I want to write the Abstract, Ack and Dedication in the center of the page. How can I do that?
Thanks

Hi Johannes,
Thanks for this info. I seems to be OK, but one problem is that the text is not at the top of the page. it is in the center of the left and right side, but I don't want the vertical space.
Thanks

Yes, that is exactly what it is supposed to do. Your question wasn't clear to me. I thought that \begin{center} Abstrct \end{center} would be too obvious.
